calculate row median of every three columns for a dataframe
You have *not* calculated row medians for all combinations of (is that what you meant?) 3 columns of your data frame. ?combn with column indexing can help you do that. If that is not what you meant, then ??

Hi all,
I need to calculate a row median for every three columns of a dataframe. I made it work using the following script, but not happy with the script. Is there a simpler way for doing this?
df = data.frame("a"=c(2,3,4), "b"=c(3,5,1),"c"=c(1,3,6),"d"=c(7,2,1),"e"=c(2,5,3),"f"=c(4,5,1))tmed <- function(dt) {x = apply(dt,1,median); return(x)}n =seq(1, ncol(df),3)w=0;for (i in n) { m=i+2; dt = df[,i:m]; y=tmed(dt); w = cbind(w,y)}t.med <- w[,2:3]
Thanks,
Anna
